Il Is quite fashionable for one hip 10
be q couple OF inches higher than the
other, and when you look at a woman
from the rear it's 70 see how different
IS the sco0ping cut on each side. In
another respect women pan out shock
ingiy-that is in the matter OF feet.
They unfasten fancy Oxford ties; they
take on yellow garters with diamonds
set clasp they slip OF dainty embroi-
dered siiken stockings and they let
loose deformed toes, enlarged joints,
great, glowing bunions, and an assert
ment OF corns truly horrible TO con-
template.
This state Of things they bring on
themselves. The woman who puts
her foot into too short a shoe viii find
her big toe joint set back on her, swell
up and develop = greater bunion than
was ever connected with " Pilgrim s
Progress. The majority of women
seem perfectly blind 10 these personal
defects Last year at the watering
places 1t was greatly the fashion 20

have seen women unblushingly I'M
cover a pair Of feet that would make a
ehiropodist shiver, and contemplate
them with pleasure If only they had a
high degree Of polish on their mis-
shapen nails.
In one Of the baths OF this city there
IS n nearly life-size plaster statue Of

Gorgeous Affairs that are Paid fer on
the Assessment Plan.
WasaiaafoH Otter

One Of the sights Of Washington is
a colored funeral-a blackberry par
ty," as it has been irreverently called.
These affairs are often on 4 most gor-
geous scale. and it is 4 mystery where
the money comes from TO pay for the
elaborate ceremonies at the church,
the costly coffin and funeral drapery
and the long procession OF carriages.
This mystery Is explained by an insight
into the organization Of the numerous
burial societies which flourish among
the colored people.
These societies generally rejoice in n
magniloquent title and a rainbow rega-
liza beside which Joseph's coat Of many
colors would be a dull aesthetic gar
ment of neutral tints. / have made
inquiries about one Of these oFganiza-
tions, which are brotherhoods or sister
hoods, or both. as the case may be. and
find some interesting features in its
makeup. The idea is to guarantee a
- good funeral" to its members. There
is an initiation fee OF 81 and annual
dues amounting % a small sum.
Then for each death the members are
assessed fifty cents all around" or
si75 il they wish to ride in hack TO
the grave.
This Is quite tax on the poor ser
want girls and seamstresses who make
up the sisterhood, but it is one that is
willingly borne for the most part. as
each member expects 20 die some time,
and when that event occurs she wishes
to be buried in style. II colored wo-
man becomes "ofiish" in this matter,
she becomes a target for the solicita-
tons and social pressure Of her circle
of friends. She may urge that she has
no money TO spare, and that for her
part she doesn't much care what hap
pens 10 her body after she is dead. In
such case the woman is lAbored with
much in the strain in which Ko-ko
persuaded Nauki-Poo 70 undergo mar
tyrdom. He would have lots Of fun
for the month. and at the expiration
Of that time he would be the central
parsonage in n great public ceremonial,
which would wind up with fireworks
and other festivities. You won't see
them" Ko-kO observes. meditatively.
but they'll be there all the same
So the young colored person is urged
to Join the sisterhood on the ground
that she can have the fun OF going 70
all the funerals till her turn comes,
and then be assured that she will be
made the chief figure in . gorgeous
ceremonial. These Arguments are COM
monty effective; but Il not, and the wo-
man holds aioof. she rather loses caste
among her fellow church members and
other associates.

Bonnets made entirely Of flowers are
the success of the season, and certainly
nothing can be fresher or prettier than
a bonnet made entirely Of vioiefs with
an aigrette OF white liiaes. or one Of
primroses trimmed with white narcis-
sus. Tiny hvacinths are also very
lovely in a delicate blue. and make
charming capotes. ToQues are also
seen IN great number. and q pretty
model has the bFim shaped somewhat
like q crown. covered entirely with
black jet; the crown OF this toque is
made Of white game. which forms a
trimming in front. mixed with which
are large leaves Of transparent jet.
Many OF the hats worn during the
Revolutionary period are coming in
favor again. The " Directoire" hats
are especially sought after. and very
becoming some Of them are found.
Capotes OF black lace are still the favor
lite eoiffures for half dressy occasions;
one pretty model Is made Of black lace
and trimmed with n thick wreath Of
cowslips. Two other eapotes were also
extremely pretty. One OF pale pink
tulle was trimmed around the edges
with a garland Of moss roses, and the
other of white lace had . garland OF
white lilacs and green leaves. The
ribbons this season present the great
est variety, both in material, color and
design. Very lovely game ribbons are
seen with stripes Of faille, satin or vel
vet. White plaid ribbons, like those
which were at one time only used for
children's sashes. are now seen in large
bows on the front and sides OF hats.
Checked ribbons in subdued colorings
are also used for hat trimmings.
